Information About

Gregory Of Rimini




Gregory returned to Paris in 1342 to prepare lectures on the Peter Lombard's Sentences . Gregory became Master of Theology there in 1345 .

He was a true Augustinian, ''contra'' the major Parisian theologian of the times, Peter Auriol , whose theology was Semipelagian . He held to Augustine's double Predestination and famously condemned unbaptised infants to Hell , for which he gained the nickname ''Infantium Tortor'', ''Torturer'', or ''Tormentor'', ''of Infants''. His students admired him greatly, however, and they called him ''Doctor acutus'' or ''Doctor authenticus''.

He died in 1358 shortly after being named General of the Augustinian Hermits.
